Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Wrangler

After enjoying the success of several top 5 and top 10
radio singles, the stage was set for the release of Gil Grand's second
album entitled Burnin. Released in December of 2002,
Burnin’ has become virtually a “greatest hits” album.
Cry A Little, Break It To Them Gently, Never Coming down, Run and
the title track Burnin all blazed their way up the
charts and were mainstays on radio airwaves across the country.
The success of this record earned Gil 5 CCMA nominations

When he isn't working with co-writers or developing new artists at the
studio, Gil Grand continues to wow audiences with his pure traditional
voice and his ability to entertain and connect with the fans.
